Putin 'tapping' me along about peace, says Trump

There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,” Mr Trump said in a social media post as he flew back to the United States after attending Pope Francis’s funeral at the Vatican.

Mr Trump also hinted at further sanctions against Russia. “It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’ Too many people are dying!!!” Mr Trump wrote.
